Direct Final Rule on National Consensus Standards Withdrawn
OSHA announced last month the withdrawal of a direct final rule for updating OSHA standards that are based on national consensus and industry standards. The rule was part of an agency effort announced last November to update OSHA standards that reference or include language taken directly from outdated consensus standards. OSHA uses the direct final rule approach on various issues that normally receive universal support from labor and industry. This approach saves regulatory resources on notice and comment rulemaking (when there is no opposition) by eliminating one stage in the rulemaking process. If no significant adverse comments are received, the final rule takes effect. However, as in this case, the agency will proceed with normal rulemaking since one adverse comment was received. That comment will be addressed in a new final rule to be issued shortly.
Kim Lazor Appointed OSHA Chief of Staff
Jonathan Snare, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA, announced last month the appointment of Kim Lazor as the agency's new Chief of Staff. Lazor has served for the past three years as a special assistant for the agency and has been key to expanding the agency's compliance assistance efforts and stakeholder outreach. As Chief of Staff, Lazor will serve as a senior member of OSHA's management team and work with Snare and others on agency policy, oversight and management.
Maritime Advisory Committee Schedules March Meeting
The Maritime Advisory Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH) has scheduled its next meeting in Washington, D.C., for March 31 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Notice of the meeting will be published in the March 2, 2005, Federal Register. Committee work groups (shipyard, longshoring, container safety, traffic safety, safety culture, and health) will meet from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., on March 30. Topics on the agenda include exposure monitoring information on beryllium and silica, shipyard practices on the control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), and analyses of accident causation data. MACOSH focuses on occupational safety and health issues for workers involved in shipbuilding, ship breaking, ship repair, and longshoring in the maritime industries.
Workshop on Chemical Reactivity Hazards Scheduled
The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta will be the site next month for a workshop focusing on the safe operation, handling, blending and warehousing of chemicals or chemical wastes. Chemical Reactivity Hazard Management Tutorial for Chemical Handlers is organized and sponsored by participants in OSHA's Reactives Alliance. The workshop will be held April 15 in conjunction with the spring 2005 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) national meeting. Online registration is available, or call AIChE at (212) 591-7338 for more information.
Philadelphia Region Partners with Pepperidge Farm
OSHA's Philadelphia Area Office inked a partnership last month with Pepperidge Farm to focus on safety and health issues for workers at the company's Downingtown, PA plant. The three-year partnership will spotlight musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses with a goal to improve the ergonomic safety performance at the plant by four percent annually. OSHA's Strategic Partnership Program has already resulted in more than 350 partnerships that impact more than 13,000 employers and well over half a million workers across the United States.
Chicago Region Sponsors Safety and Health Training This Month
Two safety seminars are being offered by OSHA's Chicago Region during March. Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, IL, will be the site of a small business safety and health forum March 16. Topics to be discussed include machine guarding, electrical safety, fall protection, accident investigation, fire safety and teen worker safety. The forum is co-sponsored by the college and the Illinois Onsite Consultation Program. Industrial warehouse safety is on the agenda for a March 18 training seminar at Northern Illinois University in Dekalb. Co-sponsored by the National Safety Education Center at Northern Illinois University, the course will include information on frequently-cited warehouse violations, and spotlight forklift and dock safety, fire and fall protection, and material handling.
OSHA Welcomes Newest Alliance Program Participants
ADSC: International Association of Foundation Drilling is the latest organization to join OSHA in a national Alliance. ADSC (formerly known as the Association of Drilled Shaft Contractors) will work with OSHA and focus on various safety and health issues impacting employees in the foundation drilling industry, including fall protection, silica, and equipment operation hazards. Two regional Alliances were also formed last month in Dallas. The Southwest Cabinet Makers Association in El Paso, and the Louisiana Chemical Association both joined with OSHA to improve the health and safety of workers in their respective organizations.
VPP Special Government Employees Publication Available
You may have read in the last issue of QuickTakes about the Voluntary Protection Programs' (VPP) Special Government Employees (SGE) Program that provides interested persons an opportunity to serve as team members on VPP onsite evaluation teams. OSHA has developed a publication on the program and posted it on the agency's website. The publication describes the SGE program, its role, eligibility requirements, benefits, and features a partial list of companies that currently sponsor their employees for the program. More than 400 qualified SGEs currently serve alongside OSHA safety and health professionals.
Upcoming Speeches by the Acting Assistant Secretary
Jonathan L. Snare, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA will travel to Key West, FL, March 2 to deliver a keynote address to the American Bar Association's Occupational Safety and Health Law Committee 2005 midwinter meeting. Snare will speak on OSHA's accomplishments, priorities, and strategic plans for the immediate future. Approximately 125 leaders of the American Foundry Society (AFS) will hear Snare speak on similar themes in Washington, March 11, during the AFS 2005 Government Affairs Committee meeting.
More Worksites Lauded for Superior Safety and Health Management
Five worksites throughout the country were spotlighted last month for setting and achieving high standards for worker safety and health. AK Steel Corporation Butler Works in Butler, PA and PLL Corporation's West Region Electric Utilities in the Harrisburg Operating Area earned "Star" status in OSHA's Voluntary Protection Programs last month. A recognition ceremony was also held last month in Wichita, KS, for Vulcan Chemicals upon receiving their VPP "Star" flag. Finally, Marvin Windows in Grafton, ND, and Welco Lumber Company from Naples, ID, both earned their membership into the VPP "Star" family during ceremonies on Feb. 11 and 24, respectively.
Business Emergency Planning Association Conference in Cleveland
OSHA's Area Office in Cleveland will join various business, industry and government entities during the 7th Annual Business Emergency Planning Association (BEPA) Conference and Exhibition on March 4. Presented by the Greater Cleveland Chapter of the American Red Cross, the conference helps businesses and industries prepare for, respond to, and recover from interruptions resulting from natural or man-made disasters and other crisis events.

My Dad worked at Grumman Aircraft in suburban NY and was a BIG Giant fan. His best memory of that afternoon is being at work, everyone in the world listening to the radio. When Thomson parked it, one rabid Dodger fan in my Dad's office was so upset he threw his battery radio out a 3 story window !
My dad was a mounted patrolman with NY's Finest and, since I was not yet born I'm not sure of the full story, my dad fell off his horse at one point injuring his back enough to pull limited duty for quite a long time. I often wondered if the two events were related
BTW...the Dodgers moved out of Brooklyn a few months prior to me being born. My mom has always said with a big smile that "they lost the Dodgers but gained a son that year". With the same smile she says "she's not sure they got the better deal". I guess you have to be of Irish descent to treat that as a joke.

By Daryl Buchanan
ROCKVILLE-Unhappy with little to no progress on efforts to improve Pepco service reliability one Rockville councilmember has decided to draft a plan he hopes will spur conversation and progress.
On September 30 Councilmember Mark Pierzchala via a website presented a three part legislative plan called Reliable Pepco that could improve electrical service to suburban Maryland.
The first part of Pierzchala's plans calls for strengthening the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) as the protector of the Maryland consumer. Part two would align Pepco's interests as a corporation and its customers. Part three works to uncover political donations from Pepco and other PSC regulated services to Maryland's state politicians.
"I did not see anyone else coming up with a plan. There was a lot hand-wringing and public angst. I wanted to get the ball rolling and have something prepared for the Maryland Legislative session in 2013," said Pierzchala, in response to why he created the plan that has been months in the making.
Part one in detail calls for the state legislature to find two consumer representatives on the PSC, one from households and another from businesses, this would increase the PSC size from five to seven. Among other points the plan calls for the legislature to provide plans to increase the professional staff of the PSC, reduce PSC responsibilities in other areas, and attract more top talent to the PSC.
Pierzchala says his second part of the plan can align Pepco's interest in making money and supplying power to residents in the region. Pierzchala says this can achieved if the state legislature mandates the PSC set a time frame where all state utilities achieve the same high standards. Incentives would be given to utility companies that maintain high levels of performances.
Finally part three of the plan aims to uncover donations made by utility companies public information. The donation information would be posted on the PSC website and include utility company names, elected official names, total number of contributions, and donations listed as far back as 2006.
Pierzchala says one of the main goals of this plan and the creation of the website is to increase the scrutiny of Pepco and the PSC that seems to have waned in the months following the derecho that left much of the region without power.
While Pierzchala created this plan he says he hopes state and county elected officials will join in with opinions or a desire to take the lead. "There is a lot of defeatism. I'm hopeful that the County-level and State-level elected officials take up the charge. A City Councilmember should worry about potholes, parks, and plowing snow," said Pierzchala. "But there is so much silence that I created the website. I will send emails out to all elected officials in the county in the coming days."
Pierzchala's plan is not overly complex and while it's just a start a similar plan he says he created his with the idea that the changes could be made rather quickly if there was a strong desire to do so. But it would take much longer for them to go into effect.
"In theory, the ideas I proposed can be accomplished in a few weeks of legislative session if there was a will to do so. But these things can take years," said Pierzchala. "If my ideas, or others, are adopted, then it would take a few years for them to fully take effect."
Governor Martin O'Malley recently introduced a plan to Maryland's utility regulators that would allow utility companies to charge ratepayers in advance of major upgrades. In exchange the utility companies would have to adhere to strict reliability standards.
When the plan is released Pierzchala said he plans to add it to the discussion on the website he created. To read Pierzchala's plan and to join the conversation you can visit the website www.pepcoplan.org.

According to an APD press release, Moreno is a person of interest in numerous other cases involving assault by contact of a sexual nature.
Moreno was currently on probation for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and manslaughter. His probation has been revoked due to the new charge filed against him in the Target incident.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
Holly-leaf Oregon-grape is a 3-6 ft., mound-shaped, broadleaf evergreen shrub with pinnately compound, glossy, leathery leaves. The 5-9 dark-green leaflets are armed with spiny teeth and turn reddish in fall. Terminal clusters of bright-yellow, bell-shaped flowers are followed by clusters of tiny blue, grape-like fruits. The bronzy copper color or the new growth in spring is an added bonus.
This stout shrub is the state flower of Oregon. The berries of this and other Oregon-grape species are eaten by wildlife and make good jelly. Native Americans made a yellow dye from the bark and wood of this shrubby species. Several are used as ornamental garden plants; in the nursery trade some of them are known by the common name Mahonia.
Find seed sources for this species at the Native Seed Network.

After almost two years in the same work area, I'm finally getting around to personalizing my desk space. Fantastically priced Instagram prints from aptly named Prinstagram, sleek acrylic desk accessories from Design Darling, and other miscellaneous cutouts and prints posted to a bulletin board have cheered this place up in no time. My style is traditionally more vintage and rustic than the modern you'll see here, but it's a nice change with clean lines that keeps me focussed at work.

A former Qantas airline steward who worked business class flights to America for several months with a ''raging'' ice habit faces jail for importing about $200,000 of the drug.
Samuel Kaufman, 50, described the methamphetamine, which had a purity of 90 per cent, as chocolates on his crew declaration card in March last year before his arrest in the basement car park of his South Yarra apartment.
Kaufman, a veteran long-haul Qantas flight attendant, was found guilty by a County Court jury in November of a charge of importing a marketable quantity of the drug. As well, he pleaded guilty to possessing eight grams of the drug found in his car after returning from Los Angeles.
Kaufman said in evidence he believed the two packages he took from his pants contained $US20,000, he had no knowledge it was drugs and that he had done a favour for a friend.
Prosecutor Francesca Holmes said it was ''unclear'' whether Kaufman was a courier, principal or combination of both, while Judge Christopher Ryan remarked he had made an ''appalling error of judgment''.
The judge said there were ''two Mr Kaufmans'' - the ''kind, giving, gentle friend'', and the drug-user in the gay scene friends were unaware of.
Kaufman's barrister, David Grace, QC, said that after his client's life became ''disorganised and chaotic'' a year ago, he used Xanax to cope with ice withdrawal while travelling. He urged the judge to be ''merciful'' in sentencing on Wednesday.

Michael Scudder : Courses and Seminars
Current Issues in Criminal and National Security Law
This seminar covers a series of current issues in criminal and national security law, often comparing and contrasting the two approaches, with a particular focus on challenges arising from acts of terrorism and other national security prosecutions (including a focus on substantive terrorism offenses, espionage offenses as well as the leaking of classified information), a discussion of criminal and intelligence investigative tools (comparing Title III electronic surveillance with Foreign Intelligence Act surveillance), application of constitutional principles to terrorism investigations and prosecutions (particularly the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments and the application of Miranda, Quarles and Corley decisions), the President's war powers and congressional oversight (including discussions of drone strikes, law of war detention, and Presidential and Congressional authority to use military force), and in other select areas, including the Classified Information Procedures Act, as well as cyber security and data privacy. Each class will focus on a different topic, with advance reading assigned around each topic, and grading on the basis of two short reflection papers (3-5 pages each) and a final paper or legal brief (20-25 pages) on a select issue in criminal and national security law. Guest speakers will help facilitate discussion on certain topics. Pre-requisites: Criminal Law and Constitutional Law I.

When pivots pay off: BuzzFeed buys Kingfish Labs
BuzzFeed is buying Kingfish Labs, for its ability to use data to make better Facebook ads.
TechCrunch is reporting that BuzzFeed is buying Kingfish Labs, for an as-yet undisclosed sum. It's the first acquisition for the meme-making-machine that BuzzFeed, founded in 2006, has become. But more importantly, it shows how a startup can "pivot," in the language of tech entrepreneurship, from one business model to... a completely different model.
In a conversation I conducted this morning at the Drucker Business Forum — held at KPCC's Crawford Family Forum — Allen Moore of Idealab's New Ventures Group and I briefly delved into this phenomenon. Pivoting is something that the founders of startups need to be prepared to do. As Allen put it, they need to be able to drive full speed ahead, with one foot pushing the pedal to the metal — while still keeping one foot hovering above the brake.
